I go on holiday in November. I've recently lost a bit of weight and have just tried on my rather "revealing" bikini which I'm over the moon with - apart from historic stretch marks on my stomach!!! If I stretch the skin on my belly they go away (mostly) but as soon as I let go they all crease up again and look horrible. I'm continuing with the weight loss and exercise but how can I reduce them further by November??! Will anything work?? Will more exercise help?

I think the only thing you can do is use Vit. E oil (capsules from a health shop) and massage it in.

Don't be taken in by the hype about Bio oil as it is made of liquid paraffin with a few other bits thrown in and is no better than Vit. E, just more expensive and smelly.
